ABC's "Castle" (Season 8)

[WyldeMan45]

I guess I am alone here in thinking the finale was mediocre at best.

It just felt to me like

[Show spoiler]"hey we are just going to have the Captain in on this, it'll be shocking!" If there had been any hints prior then I would have been fine with it, but it was a very predictable moment. The instant the guys started talking about the 3rd cop and for no reason they suddenly started cutting to Montgomery looking away, it's like "Really, ok well he's the bad guy now?"

so I spent the rest of the episode thinking how very anti-climactic that was. It's just that after three seasons I found myself wondering, "That's the best they could do?"

Also never been a fan of leaving one of the absolute essential leads who could never been killed, in a life or death moment, cause there's absolutely no worries there of course she'll be fine so that was just another unnecessary moment. I found it a rather disappointing arc to get Rick to confess his love, it took a bullet? really? Pretty sure Lockwood wasn't lying next to Montgomery either, so there's that.

Over all I was very bummed by this finale and having just watched the 5-0 finale was surprised to find that this was the one that disappointed. I enjoy Castle quite a bit, the chemistry between Beckett and Rick is undeniable, I just found the finale to be very rushed and not really enjoyable. But hey that's just my opinion. I'll still keep watching the show cause it's fun, but I did expect a lot more.
